Has Anyone Use Linux?

I tried Mandrake, Fedora Core and the last is Ubuntu. I find them not not so user friendly much more if you are fairly new to this OS. If I have much more time I think I will get back on this and try to study more but right now I will stick with my XP SP2

Well, in my oppinion, I think linux is more for advance computer users. Beginners are recommended to start with windows as it's easier to understand.

 

I myself use windows on my laptop and linux fedora core 4 on my desktop, mainly cause I use it as a server. I find linux to be more stable compared to windows, and best of all. IT'S FREE!

I'm glad that alot of people are trying linux nowadays. I myself is a linux users. I started 3 years ago when i tried running my own personal web, mail and shell server on a redhat shrike x86 platform. Today I was amazed of this new comer UBUNTU. This debian based distro was almost perfect, easier than windows, and better for gurus. Using the Gnome2 desktop, Ubuntu does not release softwares if it is not fully tested by the developers or if not yet considered as stable (thou you can get unstable ones thru unofficial repositories). What made Ubuntu more powerful is its APTITUDE (some distros have this too) program and better file repos. If you need a program e.g. xchat, just pop a terminal and issue: sudo apt-get install xchat <- and you're done! almost every stable software for linux (except commercial and with propriety issues) can be download and installed automatically using APT.

For MS skeptics, there's a software called CrossOver Office which enables linux to run MS OFFICE (upto v2003), IE 6, Quicktime, Media Player and too many to mention.

For Gamers, there's a software called CEDEGA, which somewhat emulates Directx API to enable linux to run 3D accelerated games like Warcraft III, Doom3, Battlefield, and hundreds of latest 3d hi end games.

With Ubuntu Printers are also fully and widely supported, HP 3n1s, Epson 3n1s, and more newer hardwares. Webcam is also workable using the supported SPCA5xxx generic webcam driver.

For Cafe Owners, we now have GYACH in linux, which is a Yahoo Messenger Clone which supports Webcam and Voice Chat, Emoticons, IMvironments etc. aMSN is also available as an MSN clone. OpenOffice 2 for linux is also almost like MS Office and cross compatible.

Almost everything for Linux is free, try it!
